Mother was Dorothy Alice Jones and Father Richard John Jones. He had two older brothers Robert John and Leonard William (My Father).

Any help appreciated

(they looked to have been the Births posted on above, by Andy, followed by that posting of Tiggit)

Chris :)

Do you know where his parents were from please? or his mothers maiden name?

????

Name: Frederick W Jones
Mother's Maiden Surname: Smith
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1922
Registration district: Braintree
Inferred County: Essex, Suffolk
Volume Number: 4a
Page Number: 1525

His mother is as your details Mother from Essex father not sure.

But believe details above are the correct ones so will try to obtain copy of birth certificate.

just to confirm birth

...........the two brothers:-
Births Sep 1916 (>99%)
Jones Robert J Smith Braintree 4a 1561
Births Mar 1921 (>99%)
Jones Leonard W Smith Braintree 4a 1596

and looks as though there may have been a sister:-
Births Dec 1927 (>99%)
Jones Winifred M Smith Braintree 4a J'40


however:-
the only marriage I can see is this one

Marriages Dec 1915 (>99%)
Jones Richard J Rudkin Braintree 4a 2511
Rudkin Dorothy A Jones Braintree 4a 2511

so maybe she was married before?

(see the link posted Catherine, posting by Tiggit)

Thanks Chris.

Thanks for all your help.

Further to your kind help. Wondered if you could advise where I can obtain a copy of his birth certificate as the GRO only goes to 1917, and he was born 1923. Have certificates for all the above, except his.

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp

(see above info. Graham, you can order yours, but will cost 9.25)

Chris.

Noted and have tried but they only go to 1917 as previously noted they do not go beyond this year. Unless you can tell me a way of accessing 1923 on their site. But date stops at 1917.
Have got PDF's of others.

That is for the Pilot project Graham, you should be able to order for 1922 like we used to (been a while since I have though!) would have thought there must be a way, perhaps somebody else knows...

(once you have logged on, says 'What would you like to do' see over on right list, 'Place an Order', then see 'Birth')

Order it through the order form but you will have to have the copy sent through the post cost £9.25

It's the pilot scheme that only goes to 1917 as they introduced that scheme in 2017 and have held it at the 100 year closure for the actual birth info to be online
